Make your own studio, make your own movies, such a great game!
Time progresses from the 20s to present time, more costumes and sets become available. You can either create your own Stars or hire ones that show up on your doorstep hoping they'll get a job. You will be a part of the entire movie creation process from hiring the actors and scriptwriters, to choosing the cast, sending the movie to be shot, and then released.
"The Movies" can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be. In the sandbox mode you decide if the stars act out, how much money you get, and how often you get help, among some other settings. Help is always there (if you want it be) to guide you along when you first start playing. This made learning the game very easy and the way the tips and reminders are delivered fit naturally in with the gameplay.
The movie making aspect is incredibly detailed. I didn't play with it a lot, but long enough to be impressed. Fans have already created excellent videos that can be seen on "The Movies" community website.
If you decide to buy "The Movies," you can count on hours of involved gameplay. There are multiple strategies to try, movie scripts to develop, and awards to be won. "The Movies" is one game you shouldn't miss out on playing.
